Lori + Jim — Cape Cod Engagement Portraits

We shot Lori & Jim’s engagement session on the Cape, on a cold blustery Spring day. We met up at her parents’ house and took a walk down to the beach. Of course, they had to bring along their dog, Kayla! I think she may have had the best time out of all of us! It always amazes me that dogs will run in the ocean, even when it’s FREEZING! Crazy little puppy! Look at her go!

You’ve got to snuggle to stay warm sometimes!

Please Keep Off… whoops!

Love it!

Oh Kayla, your tiny little legs are so cute!

Lori’s rain boots are awesome, clearly

I loved this little wood on the walk back to the house!

After we warmed up in the house, we were ready for round two in the backyard – without coats even! How much do you love this back yard?!

FAVORITE!

Lori & Jim, thank you for making the trip up to the Cape for our shoot! It was fun hanging out with you guys and getting to know you a bit – cold or no! Hard to believe it was ever cold when your wedding day was so perfectly lovely… but more about that in the next few posts!

Melanie + Ian — Wayside Inn Wedding – xo, CoCo

Oh Melanie and Ian! What a wonderfully relaxed and love-filled wedding day you had. As you saw from their engagement, these two are not only absolutely adorable but they are straight up head over heels in love with each other! It was amazing to witness, and I was honored to hang out with them and their wonderfully supportive families all day at the Wayside Inn. Ian’s adoring family was obviously very proud of him and Melanie’s amazing French Canadian family was cracking me up all day! I’ll hang with them any time!

Ariel + Joshua — Camp Wedding on Lake Ossipee, NH

Oh my goodness, are you ready to look at a LOT of photos?! Ari & Josh’s wedding at Camp Cody was SO FUN, I just need to share a bunch of photos to show you how fun it was, so brace yourselves!

The girls getting ready – that’s Ari there in the curlers ;)

Just a little excited ;)

Some portraits with the ladies before the festivities get started

Such a natural beauty!

Meanwhile, my fantastic second shooter, Matt Grazier of Grazier Photography was having some fun with the guys…

I love the Bride’s reception and the Bedeken! Definitely my favorite part of the day at every Orthodox Jewish wedding!

LOVE this shot Matt captured of Josh coming from the Tisch to see his bride!

And Matt’s shot of the women seeing him coming – so much excitement!

This explains why my legs hurt so bad the morning after shooting a wedding!

LOVE these moments!

Matt’s perspectives during the Ketubah signing…

My view of the Ketubah signing from the other side of the table

Once the Ketubah was signed, everyone headed to the other side of the camp for the ceremony! It had to be moved indoors because it was so unseasonably cold that day!

In a traditional Jewish, the bride would circle the groom, but for this wedding they circled each other.

RUNNING out the door!

An entertaining Bridal Party is a must!

“Hey guys, just go over there and hang out and enjoy being married for a minute!” This is what they gave me… :)

This one was a little less silly, a little more sultry… so versatile, these two!

Ari was freezing, but she still managed to look gorgeous in the setting sun by the lake!

A few moments out of the wind to wrap up our portraits!

Then it was off to the reception, where the dancing was nearly endless!!!

Cristen captured these amazing moments!

This one explains my shoulder pain… This job is hard work!! This also captures some of Josh’s awesomeness :)

The band had to shut down the music and practically beg everyone to sit down for dinner, haha! But they were happy to listen to some great toasts!

Then is was back to the dance floor!! Where are the finger pointing moves from the engagement session, I ask you?!

More Josh awesomeness…

A little late night toast by the bridesmaid who introduced them!

Ariel + Joshua — New Hampshire Summer Camp Engagement Portraits

Oh yeah, this was SUCH a great engagement session!!! I met up with Ari & Josh in New Hampshire at Camp Cody on Lake Ossipee, where they would hold their wedding a few months later. It was such a beautiful and FUN place to shoot! They brought their dog with them and we tromped all over the campground taking pictures, splashing in the water, jumping over logs, dancing in the woods, and leaping out of canoes. This may be my favorite engagement session ever :)

Lake Ossipee engagement session

To start off, they’re gorgeous, and Ari’s dress is fabulous!

Haha, the pup couldn’t resist the lake!

Oh, not only are the beautiful… they are TOTAL goofballs!!! Woohoo!

Isn’t this place lovely?!

Lake Ossipee engagement session

Then it was time for a little costume change and an all-wine picnic :)

Then it was time for our favorite part of the day! The part where they get in a canoe and recreate their engagement on Phewa Lake in Pokhara, Nepal… and then jump out of the canoe!

It’s not the Himalayas, but it will certainly do!

Get ready! We’re gonna do it!

Even the pup knew what to do :)

The poor dog was just panicking, wanting to be with them but having a hard time swimming for so long! He kept getting out, running back down the pier and jumping into the water again! He just loves them so much, he had to be with them!!

I’m surprised I didn’t see more of this dance move at their reception… ;)

Not a bad way to the end the day!

See?! Wasn’t that awesome?! Ari & Josh – you guys are the best! Thank you for being so fun to work with, and such a joy to photograph!

Head on over to Facebook to see more of my favorites!

Meagan + Evan — Castle Island Sunrise Engagement – xo, CoCo

I know I know, WHAT was I thinking agreeing to a sunrise engagement session? But I mean come on, how could you refuse such a cute couple, and a girl who was so passionate about LIGHT?! (You see, Meagan goes running on Castle Island every morning before work and had fallen in love with the light and the view of her city she gets every morning). This girl is my dream come true! The best part is, in the days leading up to our shoot Meagan’s fiance Evan was trying to look at the weather and see which morning would have the best color, so he tweeted a meteorologist to get his opinion! How sweet is he?! Despite the early hour, this shoot went off without a hitch, the light was gorgeous, Castle Island and the city were still sleeping and we had the run of the place!

Such a great view of the city!

Love love love her ring!

SO.CUTE.

I absolutely love these two. What an amazing morning it was. Meagan thank you for being so passionate about your pictures and for convincing me to do this! I know your wedding isn’t until 2014 but I am going to be counting the days until then!! See more on Facebook :)

Caitlin + Chris — South End Engagement Session – xo, CoCo

I got together with Caitlin and Chris at their apartment in the South End. These two are complete goofballs and we had so much fun running around their fabulous neighborhood, and getting to know each other. We started off on their amazing roof deck with a sweet view!

And the laughing begins… :)

Of course we had to stop by The Buttery! Sadly it was closed….No treats for me :(

We found some gorgeous light and followed it all the way to the SOWA building down the street.

Pro tip: Make your clients bring a picnic table over to stand on so you can hit the right light! Good job guys, LOVE THIS!

What a fabulous evening I had with these two! Thank you Caitlin and Chris for being so cute and funny, I can’t wait to see you again in September! Check out Facebook for more in the mean time :)

Tasha + Jared — Pamet Harbor Yacht Club Wedding – xo, CoCo

How do I describe these two?? They are beautiful, laid-back, stylish, eccentric, incredibly loving, and most of all FUN. Tasha and Jared and their amazing friends and family make me realize why love my job so much. I’m so glad they found me and I feel privileged to have been invited in to document this intimate celebration. Their wedding day was nothing short of perfect. Bright and sunny but with a cool breeze. Organized enough so that the day ran smoothly but was also one of the most relaxed affairs I’ve ever taken part in. These two operate with a quiet cool, so that nothing on their gorgeous day went unnoticed or unappreciated, but all of its wonderfulness was totally expected, because that’s just how cool they are. PS- The frames above were shot right after the ceremony on Kodak Tri-X iso 400 35mm film.

Let’s start off with Tasha at her parents’ house, Tasha’s mom is an artist and has an amazingly eclectic sense of style, I poked around the rooms and found this cutie sleeping :)

Tasha and her sister were so fun!

The final product. STUNNING.

“The occasional movie” haha!

Tasha’s brother gave her a hand walking down to the car, so cute.

My fabulous second shooter for the day was Peter Morse, he started with Jared in the morning.

Peter also grabbed these of Jared’s awesome First Look reaction :)

What a beautiful spot huh?!

Their tight-knit bridal party, love the sparkles!

Jared looked so sweet as Tasha came down the aisle, courtesy of Peter as well.

Now that’s a happy couple!

We snuck away for a couple minutes to grab some portraits, these two are so relaxed and gorgeous together!

Are they gorgeous or what.

There were hula hoops a plenty!

The boys :)

Tasha’s sister was cracking everyone up with her speech.

Everyone spread out all over the Pamet Harbor Yacht Club waiting for the sun to go down with cocktails, hula hoops, and bocce ball, what else do you need?

Sing it!

There was a serious dog pile of dancers after “More than Words” played :)

Tasha and Jared, thank you for being that perfect couple, for loving each other and your families with all your heart and letting me document it, it was such a pleasure! Get on over to Facebook for more and come back soon for their amazingly eccentric and beautiful details!

Brewlywed at Sam Adams Brewery – xo, CoCo

Welcome to Brewlywed everyone! CoCo had the pleasure of photographing the annual release of Sam Adams’s Brewlywed Ale. For the second year in a row, as part of the event, Sam Adams also offers wedding ceremonies (or vow renewals) on the site of the brewery! So cool right?! It was a gorgeous day in June, and people were lined up around the block to get a sip of their delicious beer.

Owner Jim Koch addressed the crowd to open the brewery, and then gave everyone a little surprise…

He sabered a bottle of Brewlywed! Well done!

Caroline from Wild Folk Studio made some gorgeous flower arrangements, not to mention hop cone boutonnières for the grooms!

These two were the first couple to ever get married at Sam Adams! They came back this year to renew their vows!

Another vow renewal!

This couple came all the way from Iowa! So cool!

They had some great shoes!

Jim and the Henri Gough, the Justice of the Peace, had such a good time!

What a fun day! Thank you everyone for participating!

Meet Nichole & Steve! How adorable are these two?! Nichole is a good friend of Krista’s, she is beautiful, talented, and her and Steve make such a fun couple.
